Linux Action Show

If you like to learn more about Linux and open source software then you should check out the Linux Action Show. It is hosted by Chris Fisher and Bryan Lunduke. The show is definitely geeky but there is a lot to learn especially if you are new to Linux. Even veteran Linux users will learn a thing or two. The show had its debut in 2006 and it's still going strong after many years. Chris and Bryan review many distributions of Linux and also a variety of open source applications. There is a call in question and answer segment which is pretty cool as well. You can watch the Linux Action Show podcasts for free on Jupiterbroadcasting.com
